Resignation and duty contrast in a providential view
A long excerpt contrasts Christ's perfect acquiescence to the Father's will with cautions against spiritual indifference. It warns against passive neglect of mission, urging active prayer, evangelism, and personal effort to advance the kingdom before defeat becomes virtuous. The piece then shifts to a Connecticut tale of a Cheshire couple, where a husband vanished abroad, a widow remarried, and a later discovery reveals a morally complex reunion without divorce.
